• 1 Kgs 11:1-8 : 1 But King Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites. 2 Of the nations concerning which the LORD had said to the children of Israel, You shall not go to them, nor shall they come to you: for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods: Solomon clung to these in love. 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not fully follow the LORD, as David his father did. 7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, on the hill before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 And likewise he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
